Before this, the Black Wind Tribe.
Some of the warriors were sent out to fight, while the rest were left to guard the tribe. Among them were some elite soldiers who had originally thought they would also go to Black Crow Forest. However, after learning that their mission was to guard the tribe, some of them became unhappy. Besides doing their job, they complained a lot, wondering why they had to stay here. Did they think they were not strong enough?
"Why? It's so boring staying here. Several of the people who went are level one warriors. Why can they go but we can't?"
"Exactly! This is a super battle between two tribes! If you miss it, you'll never get another chance. I really envy those who went."
"The White Feather Tribe is definitely no match for Tashan and his men. I wonder how things are going over there. Tashan is warlike, so those White Feather Tribe warriors are probably in for a rough time. Oh dear... Thinking about it like this, I'm really unwilling to accept it!"
As a general in the Black Wind Tribe, Jiao Du was also assigned to the tribe to prevent any unforeseen complications. Seeing a few warriors discussing endlessly, he walked sternly towards them and reprimanded them: "Quiet! This is the Moth Witch's order. Do you not even obey the Moth Witch's orders?"
Upon hearing Kakuzu's words, those who had been chattering just moments before suddenly fell silent. Not only were his words particularly harsh, but they also knew very well Moth Witch's temperament—he was incredibly difficult to deal with. A few days ago, someone had angered Moth Witch, and Moth Witch used his power to make that person suffer from diarrhea for a full seven days. Every time they saw that person, he was pale-faced, clutching his stomach with obvious weakness—poor fellow, he was a level two warrior! How could a level two warrior suffer from stomach pain for seven days without getting better?
"Diarrhea" is just a small trick of the Moth Witch. More powerful ones can even weaken a level 2 warrior, so that unless the Moth Witch lifts the curse, the level 2 warrior can only be like a frail old man, blown down by a gust of wind.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Kakuzu sighed. He also wanted to go into battle and kill the enemy, but an order is an order, and even he, Kakuzu, could not disobey it.
Turning his back, Kakuzu looked towards a certain direction in the tribe; a little further ahead in that direction was the Black Crow Forest.
After watching quietly for a long time, Kakuzu was about to turn and leave when his keen eyesight suddenly made him notice a wisp of smoke rising into the sky from the jungle!
Kakuzu's pupils contracted sharply. Wasn't there a battle going on? Why was there smoke all of a sudden? What were they doing making a fire?
Jiao unconsciously clenched his fists, sensing something was wrong, and his heart raced.
Soon, smoke filled the sky in more places, and it wasn't just smoke anymore; it could be seen from every angle, with flickering lights in some places.
"Fire? What happened?!"
Kakuzu opened his mouth wide.
How could it have caught fire?
No……
etc!
The Black Crow Forest is full of dense trees. If a fire were to be lit, wouldn't Tashan and his men, who were lying in ambush in the Black Crow Forest, be in danger?
Kakuzu suddenly turned around and shouted to the patrolling warriors, "Quickly, collect as much water as you can from the tribe, and then come with me!"
"Oh, what happened?"
One of them asked a strange question.
"Don't ask, just follow me!"
Kakuzu cursed.
"Ah... how did such a big fire break out in Black Crow Forest? Will the brothers be alright?"
Everyone was very tense. Upon hearing this, they immediately raised their voices and roared, "Since you know that, hurry up and get the water! Do you want the brothers to die there?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kakuzu suddenly felt a scorching heat in the air. He trembled and looked at the Black Crow Forest again. He saw that the flames there were much stronger than when he had seen them before. The flames covered almost fifty percent of the Black Crow Forest.
"No...Tashan, Chief!"
Kakuzu's eyes turned red. With such a huge fire, what would happen to his brothers?
Black Crow Forest and Black Wind Tribe are actually not far apart, but in this critical situation, the distance between them becomes exceptionally far. Kakudu wished he had wings so he could fly from here to Black Crow Forest. He could no longer hold back and ran towards the place in the tribe where the water source was stored.
The Black Wind Tribe was in chaos. There weren't many fighters left behind; most of the remaining people were women and children. No one stepped forward to comfort them. They were already shocked by the fire in the Black Crow Forest, and many of them were screaming and running around in a panic.
"What should we do? What should we do about the chief and the others? This fire is too big! We mustn't let them get burned to death!"
"Damn it, why now of all times? No, I can't just stand here and watch. You guys stay here and guard them, I need to go save them!"
"Behave yourself!"
This was a curse from Kakuzu.
He was already in a bad mood, and seeing the chaos in the tribe, with some people at a loss and others offering to help fetch water, he felt a surge of anxiety: "Leave it to us, we'll help. You just wait here quietly and don't cause us any more trouble!"
As he spoke, Kakuzu grabbed a basin of water. Carrying the basin, he and several other warriors who had already fetched water ran quickly out of the tribe. "This fire will only get bigger and bigger. You people with no combat experience will only drag us down if you try to cooperate with us!"
